Comments on Sky Map for Android

★★★★★ Lothlorien Quispe · Nov 28, 2025

I love this app... it helps me to learn more about stars and planets and even 7 sisters!!! Now I learn more about this app as if it hasn't been updated for a while. I wonder is there anyone I can report to development team to alert them about Mercury where it is at has shown on this sky map app, lands onto Libra star constellation... and I am aware it is in Scorpio star constellation. So I wonder would the development team update this sky map app. I downloaded this app last month (October 2025).

★★★★★ Abubakar Khokhar · May 8, 2026

Had this app on my phone for years, I use it to see where I object are before I grab the telescope

★★☆☆☆ Va K · Mar 16, 2026

Either the app or my pixel is terrible with the compass. It used to be great.... the fact that it used to have an accurate compass was why this was such a useful app. Now it's just a sky map that I use like a manual map.

★☆☆☆☆ Joker Storm · May 25, 2026

Calibration. I can understand if the phone does not have a gyroscope, but this is ridiculous. Tried on 3 different phones all with gyroscopes and the calibration is always "unreliable" and the calibration steps do nothing to made it better. 😑 EDIT: Wow, it only took you 3 years and 4 months to respond......

★☆☆☆☆ Grant Winters · Jul 29, 2026

I've used this app for years. But over the last month(July26). It's been terrible. The app changed and the update has prevented it from finding the correct location or time that the assignments are set. It had the moon below the horizon while I clear have a good view of it on front of me. Whatever happened with the update it has messed up a really good app. I've tried reinstalling, yet it still makes the same mistakes. Nobody will want to use it in its current state.
